The only objection to the establishment of
reformatory for women that comes from
any quarter except from the Belfast Age,
which seems anxious that society shall re-
lapse into barbarism, grows out of the ex-
penditure of money which such an institu-
tion would necessitate. That Of course is an
objection which deserves attention. but it
must be remembered that the State is in
much better financial condition than it was
few years ago and can afford more than it
could then.

1t may be regarded as certain that the re-

adopted by the House in substantially its
present form, and that the President will
nothesitate to use the power it places in his

occasion shall arise or not depends entirely
on the conduct of Canada. The persecution
of last summer cannot be renewed by the

We are surprised to find even among per-
sons supposed to be thoroughly conversant
with our liquor laws an impression pre-
vailing that there is no law against the sale
OF cider. As matter Of fact the sale Of
cider in less quantities that five gallons is
now prohibited, no matter whether the
cider is one day old or one year. This law
can be made as effectual to abolish cider
tippling as the new law which the Good
Templars propose. Indeed it can be made
more effective, for there are not so many, nor
SO big, holes in it.

The Knights of Labor are represented as
in favor of the ten hour bill introduced by
Senator Weymouth, which was prepared by
the Lewiston organ of the order This bill
forbids any factory, manufacturing estab-
lishment or business to employ men more
than ten hours in any one day, the practical
effect of which would be to deny to the great
majority of the laboring men of this State
the right to work as many hours as they see
fit. Perhaps the Knights in session at Au-
gusta correctly represent the sentiment of
the great mass of workingmen of the State
on this subject, but that should be made
clear before the Legislature adopts this piece
of legislation, which certainly goes to the
extreme limit of legislative power if it does
not transcend it. Workingmen outside the
Knights of Labor organization have rights as
well as those inside of it, and the latter
simply because they are organized ought not
to be allowed to dictate the labor legislation
Of the State. -

AN EXPLODING PIE.
Which Seriously Injured Two Actors
at the Park Garden.

Last evening at the Park Garden the premature
discharge of pistol at the conclusion of the first
act result in a serious injury to two of the actors
The comedy being represented is entitled "a
Piece of Pie" AT the end of the first act, by dis
charging pistol the contents of pie made OF paper
and sawdust, are blown in all directions This
dummy pie is placeg iu position just before the
pistol is discharged and pie in an earthern dish
is removed. Last evening, before this change
had been made, Harry Edwards, one of the ac-
tors, accidentally stepped upon the treadle which
discharged the pistol. The earthen plate was
broken by the discharge and the powder flashed
into the faces of Edwards and another actor, Geo.
H. Beane, Jr., who were bending over the pie.
Pieces of the earthen plate also struck the men
cutting them about the face. They were imme-
dately taken to an occulist and their wounds
cared for The eyes of both men were injured.
Edwards lost the sight in one eye but Beam. will
come out all right. Both men received aplentiful
sprnkling of powder about their eyes and the re-
moval of the grains and dressing of the WOUNDS

The Young Mems Christian Associations of
Maine have long felt the need of a permanent
State secretary. Such an officer has been found
to be an efficient agent TO cooperate with the
local secretaries and Associations and assist in
organizing new ones when needed The State
executive committee have been i'm correspond
ence with the international committee for several
months with view to securing the right man for
the position. The demand for such men largely
exceeds the supply, hence the unavoidable delay
that has attended their efforts. We are pleased
to announce, however, at this time that Mr. Z.
A. Lawrence, who has filed similar position in
Connecticut for several years has accepted the
invitation recently extended by the State COM
mttee and will enter upon his duties as State
secretary for Maine about the first of January.
Mr. Lawrence comes to Maine after many years
Of successful work in Connecticut, and with the
unqualified endorsement of the International
committee through whose efforts his services
have been secured TO the Maine Associations
Mr.. Lawrence is not altogether a stranger in
Maine, having been present at our State conven-
ton in Portland last year and returns with view
of making it a permanent field of labor. We
predict for him the cordial support of all others
who are interested in the welfare of our young

THE THIRD PARTY.


There was good sized meeting last night In
Congress Hall to listen TO the addresses of the
members of the State committee of the Prohibition
Party Of Maine. Col. Eustis chairman, called the
meeting to order, which opened with music by
Bent's orchestra Prayer was then offered by
Rev. s. II. Barren. which was followed by an adj
dress of considerable length by Col. Eustis. In
the course Of his remarks he referred to the ten
days notice given the rumsellers of Bangor by
the constables OF that city to close their shops,
and said that this action seemed to him like going
to arrest a burglar with band Of music. The
rumselers should not have been given notice that
their shops would be visited by the officers after
certain date, because in the mean time they
would have chance to hide their liquor and thus
elude the officers
Volney b. Gushing was next introduced and
delivered an address in behalf of the Third Party.
In opening his remarks he said: 81 am from that
awfully wicked city of Bangor which our chairman
has talked about Our city has bad reputation
everywhere. One man in speaking of it said
Bangor is a whiskey city, and another said,
Bangor is place where prohibition does not pro-
hibit.' The Democrats of Bangor cannot win
without the liquor vote, and the Republicans can
not win without the liquor vote so the Republic.
ans make a trade with the liquor element and
rule. There is difference between Democratic
liquor and Republican liquor A man will drink
Republican whiskey and feel genial and hurrah
for Blaine, and a man will drink Democratic whis-
key and have the derium tremens and shout for
Cleveland and the bo-oys. The people had rather
have the Republican party IN power and have
Republican whiskey, because the Democratic
whiskey is poorer"
The next speaker was Mr.. Woodburyof Auburn,
whose remarks were warmly received.
Gen. Dow was unable TO be present.
The meeting closed with music by the orchestra
which furnished several excellent selections during
| the evening.
| After the meeting adjourned there was meet
| ing Of the executive committee, which decided to
hold the next convention of the Prohibition Party
in this city early in May next.
